What is tahini?
Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds. It is a staple ingredient in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines. Tahini has a creamy texture and a rich, nutty flavor. It is often used as a condiment or as an ingredient in various dishes.
Is tahini keto-friendly?
Tahini is generally considered keto-friendly. Tahini is relatively low in carbohydrates, with around 3 grams of net carbs per 2 tablespoons (30 grams) serving.
Tahini is rich in healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated fats, which are beneficial for heart health. These fats help provide satiety and can contribute to the overall fat intake required on a ketogenic diet.
The Ingredients

- Apple Cider Vinegar
How to make Tahini Bread
Whisk the eggs and powders.
Add the tahini and whisk.
Pour the batter into a loaf tin.
Bake until firm.
Storage
Allow the tahini bread to cool completely to room temperature after baking. This step is crucial to prevent condensation and moisture buildup inside the storage container. Wrap the cooled tahini bread tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps to seal in moisture and prevent the bread from drying out.
Place the wrapped bread in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 to 7 days. Remember that refrigeration can slightly alter the texture of the bread, making it denser.
Freezing Tahini Bread
For longer-term storage, tahini bread can be frozen. Wrap the cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap and place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 to 3 months. Thaw the bread at room temperature before consuming or gently reheat individual slices in a toaster or oven.
What Does Tahini Bread Taste like?
Tahini bread has a distinct and delicious flavor. The taste of tahini itself is nutty and rich, and this flavor carries over to the bread. The bread has a subtle sesame seed flavor, with a hint of sweetness and a slightly earthy undertone.
tahini bread offers a unique and enjoyable taste experience. It pairs well with a variety of spreads, such as hummus or avocado, and can be enjoyed as a standalone bread or incorporated into sandwiches and toasts.

Hi, I've not tried this with flax eggs but it would yield a denser bread. Any other nut butter works very well. Happy baking!

Hi,
Two questions:
1) Can you make this recipe vegan by using flax eggs?
2) Can you substitute the tahini for peanut or almond butter, etc>
